Okay, so, let me tell you about this whole thing with the Suzuki Intruder M1800R. I’ve been messing around with bikes for a while now, and this one? This one’s a beast. Not literally, of course, but you know what I mean.
First off, I got my hands on this bike. It wasn’t brand new or anything, but it was in pretty decent shape. I remember seeing it and thinking, “Yep, that’s the one.” It just had this look, you know? Big, powerful, kinda like it could eat other bikes for breakfast.
So, I started by just riding it around. Nothing fancy, just getting a feel for it. The engine, man, it’s huge. I mean, 1800cc? That’s no joke. Every time I twisted the throttle, it felt like I was unleashing some kind of monster. But a good monster, like, a friendly one that just wants to go really, really fast.
Then I started digging into the specs. I’m not a mechanic or anything, but I like to know what’s going on under the hood, or, well, under the seat in this case. I found out it’s got this V-twin engine, which is pretty cool. Apparently, it’s a 4-stroke, which means… well, I’m still not entirely sure what that means, but it sounds impressive, right?
I also did some comparing with other bikes. There’s this one called the Intruder 150, which is like the little brother of the M1800R. It’s way smaller, and I guess it’s okay for beginners or something, but it’s not really my style. Then there are these other bikes, like the Harley-Davidson Night Rod Special. People always compare them, but honestly, I don’t see the point. They’re just different, you know?
One thing I noticed is that people complain about the M1800R having too much plastic. I guess it’s true, it does have a lot of plastic parts, but I don’t really mind. It’s not like it’s falling apart or anything. And hey, it makes it a bit lighter, which is good for going fast, right?
Now, about the mileage. People say it gets around 42 kilometers per liter. Which sounds great on paper. But in my experience, it’s more like 13 kilometers per liter, I think? I mean, when you have a big engine like this, you’re gonna burn some fuel. It’s just part of the deal. And with a fuel tank that holds 19.5 liters, I’m refilling every couple hundred kilometers or so.
I tried to see how fast it could go, too. I found this long, straight road, and just went for it. I didn’t see any official number of top speed for M1800R, but I know the Intruder 150 can do around 110 kilometers per hour, so I figured the M1800R could do way more. I didn’t push it too hard, but let me tell you, it felt like I was flying. It’s definitely not slow, that’s for sure.
In Conclusion
So, yeah, that’s my experience with the Suzuki Intruder M1800R. It’s a big, powerful bike that’s a lot of fun to ride. It’s not perfect, but it’s got character, and that’s what I like about it. If you’re thinking about getting one, just be prepared for the power, and maybe don’t expect to save too much on gas. But hey, who buys a bike like this to save on gas, right?
